[vc_column_text]

The organizational structure developed by the 15th FAPA Bureau and recommended for official adaptation of the FAPA Council in 2022.

The FAPA council is the highest decision-making body of the organization and is composed of presidents/ designated representatives of Member Associations, Bureau Members, and Section Chairpersons.

As the primary executive organ of FAPA, the FAPA Bureau, which consists of the President, Immediate Past-President, President-Elect, Five (5) Vice-Presidents and Secretary-General, oversees all activities and operations of the FAPA Sections, Regular and Ad Hoc Committees, as well as affiliate organizations. The FAPA Secretariat, led by the Secretary-General supports the FAPA Bureau in all its functions.

The position formerly labeled as honorary president is expanded to include all former FAPA presidents in an advisory board that may be invited to provide counsel to the FAPA Bureau.

Affiliate organizations are independent regional (Asian) organizations that are recognized as organizations that contribute to the overall vision of FAPA.
